This beer takes time and patience. Here is the log so far
- 1 week primary ferment in basement (60F)
- Racked and added dryhop addition.
- 1 week secondary ferment upstairs (slowly raised to 70F)
- Racked (to remove hops)
- Let sit for a week (I was just really busy :)
- Added second dryhop addition
- Started cold crash (needs about a week)

This is the current beer on tap and the first keg is going fast. The water additions made a huge difference. The beer is noticeably maltier, hoppier and has better mouth feel. I think that we will need a side-by-side comparison with the commercial version.

The t-shirt swap cooler did help, but the temps never fell to the optimal range. Instead they hovered closer to 57-58 until the fermentation slowed.

Time to rack and lager.

Only then will we know if the temps had any negative affects.

Christopher,
Good to hear from you. I will be sure to keep the beer porn flowing over the next few months. Fall is my favorite time to brew.

Cheers,
Gabriel

Looks like a perfect brew for the coming cold nights. I’m envious. And at almost 7 percent, I’m sure it’s going to be a sipping beer.

It was good to meet you at #heweb11 this year. I’ve subscribed to your blog via RSS. Look forward to seeing more beer porn pics.

Comment on Pear Cider (Process and Recipe) by nagmay

Keren,
I wouldn’t recommend cooking/steaming the fruit. The end result will taste like cooked fruit – rather then a typical cider.

Hi Gabriel! We were fortunate enough to come upon a glut of pears and I’m wondering if we would still have good results if I steamed the juice out instead of pressing? What do you think? Does it make a difference if it’s raw?
Thanks!
